NVFM

mild tusk Jan 20, 2023, 5:38 PM

I’m willing to go up to £1300

#

If I need to

indigo glen Jan 20, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

maybe bump the cpu up to a 13600K? idk

#

or a regular 13600 if you won't overclock

Is upgradability important to you? @mild tusk

5 years atleast

#

Is it easy to clean PC’s?

indigo glen Jan 20, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

depends on how well you treat it

#

generally on average not really

silk haven Jan 20, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

mild tusk Is it easy to clean PC’s?

as long as you keep up regularly its easy, dusting every few months with compressed air is plenty, depending on how dusty your room is

indigo glen Jan 20, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

just blow some dust away

#

is mostly what you'll need to do

#

side note you should put your PC on your desk

#

rather than on the floor

#

otherwise it'll suck up more dust

silk haven Jan 20, 2023, 5:43 PM

I got a small change suggested here, its the case, and drives that I think are a little off

for the above if you want to stretch a little further the bulk storage can be bumped to 2TB instead of 1 TB

i would go for a more recent mobo if you want it to last a while

What’s a mobo?

indigo glen Jan 20, 2023, 5:46 PM

motherboard

feral galleon Jan 20, 2023, 5:46 PM

This'd be my view on things- I've removed the dual drive setup which has effectively afforded me a tonne of other stuff, storage is super cheap and a very easy add these days.

-better TUF B660 motherboard that'll happily handle a future CPU upgrade
-Higher quality and higher wattage PSU for again, more future upgradability

12600 then a 13400F in an updated post

Do I need 750w power supply? The website told me before I only needed 550w

indigo glen Jan 20, 2023, 5:48 PM

750w would be a waste of money and power so yeah 550w

silk haven Jan 20, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

mild tusk Do I need 750w power supply? The website told me before I only needed 550w

750W will let you upgrade in the future without worrying about the PSU change too

#

changing a PSU is a nightmare

indigo glen Jan 20, 2023, 5:49 PM

oh right

That said, spending 1200 on a 6600 system irks me a bit so here's an AMD option that allows for a 3060TI. You're down a bit on CPU power, but you gain about 30-40% in GPU power. Plus in terms of future upgrade path, the 5800X3D is a fantastic CPU that'll sit in here nicely
